Inside Emirates' new 'Game Changer' first-class suites that have landed in Australia
Emirates has unveiled its first class 'Game Changer' suites to Australia.
The newly added retro-fitted Boeing 777-300ER features four cabin classes, including the introduction of Australia's first fully-enclosed first class cabin.
It marks Emirates' third non-stop Melbourne to Dubai service, which launched earlier this week.
Passengers flying from Melbourne were the first in Australia to experience the new Game Changer suites.
Read on to see what the exclusive retro-fitted cabin has to offer.
Mercedes-Benz S-Class design
Six First Class 'Game Changer' suites are arranged in a 1-1-1 configuration and feature fully enclosed, floor-to-ceiling privacy doors.
The suite is inspired by the Mercedes-Benz S-Class with soft leather seating, hi-tech control panels, mood lighting and a personal temperature controller.
Hi-tech additions
The two middle suites feature industry-first 'virtual windows', which project the same view of the skies passengers sitting in window seats enjoy.
Passengers also have 24-hour virtual access to the cabin crew with a video-call system allowing room service from the dine-on-demand à la carte menu.
Spacious and ingenious design
Passengers can relax in a 78-inch long seat, which reclines to a fully flat bed.
An industry first zero-gravity seat position is designed to replicate the feeling of a private hotel room in the sky.
Entertainment blends with luxury
The Suite also includes a full length wardrobe, overhead stowage, baggage storage and extra storage space for bags or shoes.
Other high-tech touches includes a 32" 4K HD entertainment screen and premium Bowers & Wilkins noise-cancelling headphones.
Signature caviar service
Emirates' newly-enhanced signature caviar selection, served in an exclusively designed Robert Welch Bowl, adds to the luxury of the first class experience.
The delicacy is offered with blinis and Melba toast, alongside traditional accompaniments including chopped egg, sour cream, onion and chives.
Vodka or a glass of Dom Perignon are popular beverage pairings.
New First-Class menu
First Class passengers on-board have exclusive access to Emirates' new first-class menu, which launched this week.
The carrier has invested heavily in its wine program in recent years and is the only airline to offer Dom Perignon onboard for its first class passengers.
The culinary experience is exemplified by Emirates' new white glove service.
